    Regulation

    Cupron supports its partners through ongoing dialogue with, collaboration with and reporting to key regulatory agencies around the world. This commitment allows Cupron to (1) secure additional claims to the marketplace regarding the effectiveness of Cupron Technology, and (2) expand the use of Cupron technology into new applications. Our primary regulatory programs include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. In addition, we are expanding our efforts with other regulatory agencies around the world.

     

    To date, Cupron has 3 registrations with the EPA that permit the use of Cupron Technology across all non invasive applications. Currently these registrations permit anti-odor, product protection, and anti-dustmite "public health" claims language. Cupron also has an FDA listing for Cupron Enhanced anti-odor hospital bed linens and a European CE Mark for the use of a Cupron Enhanced anti-viral mask effective against H1N1 and avian influenza viruses.

     

    For cosmetic applications, Cupron has achieved recognition by the International Nomenclature of Cosmetics Index ("INCI"), where Cupron Copper Oxide has been recognized as a trade name and Cuprous Oxide recognized as official INCI name.

      • Product claims that can be made for products containing Cupron technology vary by country and by product. In particular, all antimicrobial claims in the US
        are strictly regulated by the US EPA, which allows only preservative "treated article" claims, while structure-function/disease-treatment claims in the US need
        to be pre-market approved by the US FDA. Partners and customers should consult Cupron for all questions regarding product claims in particular countries
